i, op backing he might receive.
■ f in an independent. They did
not ask me and I didn’t ask them,”
he said of the Republican Party
leadership concerning his candid-

1951. He said he had been in the
insui ance business since 1937. 11 is
platform. hn -aid, will be to put
insurance companies under federal
control with every policy guaran-
teed by the Federal Government.

which his company went into re-
ceivership. He promised an “ex-
tremely active" campaign.
